### "Great integration. Responsive support fills whatever gaps you may find. "

September 18, 2017

4.0

Pros

The integration of functions we used to have several different software packages to perform. Almost infinitely customizable. The e-commerce integration is cutting-edge for this level of software. xTuple is genuinely interested in customer feedback to improve the product.

Cons

The base software has some gaps that need addressed. Installation /upgrade packages require a pretty high-level of computer skill to install.

### "I use Postbooks which is the public xTuple version. I like the software. It is highly capable."

June 28, 2018

4.0

Pros

The software is highly capable with inventory, manufacturing, client development and tracking, and, of course, accounting. I like that it runs against PostgreSQL data base which is extremely robust and capable data base.

Cons

I do not like that the Linux version only runs on rather older Ubuntu platforms and does not stay up to date with the latest Postgres data base versions. I have suggested on the community forums that the Linux version of Postbooks/xTuble be developed as a Flatpak development project so it would run on on Linux platforms that support Flatpak which, I think, includes most.

### "Extremely customizable"

September 18, 2017

5.0

Pros

It's completely customizable and the automated reports we have designed provide transparency for all facets of our operation.

Cons

Updates can be released with critical bugs that can't be fixed right away so we have to develop work arounds.

### "It's been a very positive one. I have no reservations using xTuple to manage my business. "

September 22, 2017

5.0

Pros

xTuple's project billing is huge. I use projects quite a bit and I love the integration of projects into the ERP.

Cons

Not much to dislike but the ability to update tables from CSV Import rather from temp tables would be appreciated.

### "Review on xTuple - My experience"

October 24, 2022

4.0

Pros

Companies are able to get the most value out of the data they already have because of the ERP database's analytics and reporting capabilities, which provide insights. Data analysis may be used to identify areas with room for improvement and validate the effectiveness of operational plans. Businesses will be able to direct their attention to activities of higher priority thanks to xTuple's ability to automate formerly labor-intensive manual processes.

Cons

In certain sections, the user interface may be very complicated, and overall, the UI has room for improvement to provide the greatest possible user experience.

February 9, 2018

Pros

I am using the software for like two years. I like the concept of customization depending on the employees' ease of use for better output. Very accommodating team and always open for customization as I said. Spreadsheets content can upload to the software also. A high quality software and highly recommended to the companies who wants to integrate their systems.

### "Value driven software that offers a variety of features "

July 2, 2018

3.0

Pros

The community edition (PostBooks - which is free for 4 simultaneous users) gives users an great insight into the functionality of the software while providing a basic feature set that most users should be able to utilize. For a technically minded person who understands databases, this software is very simple to setup and is lightweight. The utilities they include to import data into PostgreSQL is extremely useful. They have cross platform applications (Mac, Windows, and Linux) which will provide desktop support for virtual every operating system. The support forums are a great resource for setting up the software, and in the instances that I've communicated with the developers they have been kind and resourceful.

Cons

The interface is powerful, but seems a bit dated and at times weird. The community edition only (naturally) provides basic functionality. I am disappointed that they implemented user licenses for the PostBooks version, restricting it to 4 users (if I recall correctly, the original releases did not have this stipulation).

### "easy to use, missing a few things for erp software and proper controls"

June 29, 2018

4.0

I like that it is so easy to track production. But we supplement this software to get a lot of additional information.

Pros

I like that the software is easy to use. It Covers the bases and generally keeps track of production well. So it covers a need we have.

Cons

There is no rev control and no ecn functionality. Other software that I have used in other companies has those things automatically built in. This software leaves part rev control out completely so it cannot be controlled. In other software an ECN would be required to change a part ID or any information on the part. I'd say, at a minimum not having revision control at a part level is a large mistake.

It works well to manage the overall parts of the business.

### "Customizable and Open Source"

June 28, 2018

3.0

Pros

I like the idea and the ability to customize nearly every aspect of your businesses process. Having every step of your business accessible in a single program allows for streamlining processes and higher efficiency.

Cons

Well our biggest issue with this software is, while the program is customizable, any major changes would be lost in upgrades or would be broken from the upgrade process. This resulted in us abandoning a very expensive software migration and seek other solutions.

Zero ERP costs

Pros

Comprehensive. All my clients need are well sorted out by the ERP. The Procurement process and sales are well covered.

### "All you need from an ERP system at an affordable price"

February 7, 2017

5.0

xTuple has most of the nice features of an expensive ERP at a very affordable price. All our departments work in tune and have full vision of what is going on on the day to day activities. Being able to use the client with different OS's (Linux/Windows/Mac) was very important for us, and now with the web enabled server it is even better. We run batch jobs like cost updates and MRP and have automated email sending for different events and reports that save us a lot of time. Bugs are constantly monitored and fixed so there are not many weak points to highlight. I would recommend having some knowledge of javascript and SQL in order to customize your client and reports the way your company needs. It's actually not really needed, but given the flexibility that xTuple offers to customized things it's totally worth it. Overall, we are very happy with the decision we took 5 years ago.
